Yep, we had a coaching change due to some "wokeness" and have sputtered from there.
Believe me, I'm not bragging on our BB right now. Just pointing out we'd be middle of the AAC even on a down year.
I personally agree with you, I just haven't found the evidence to support our opinion. I think the spring is a huge missed opportunity, especially since football and basketball seasons are over. Whether baseball is truly a difference maker is a different story though.
Are we confident in our young kicker, though? I remember the one game EM tried to take the 3 points and our K missed it. Seems like nothing is given with this team. IIRC, he was rated as a pretty good kicker, but I don’t know what happened.
It's never my intent to beat up on a kid publicly. I'd rather read both the pro's and con's of a kid; instead of the usual "superlatives" only of a recruit. (Funny how we never see a bad Hudl) In fact, I generally discount about 25% of what I read about our recruit(s); depending on source.
I'm a little more familiar with Giles having followed his HS career at SOC. Purdue came by the school last year and offered damn near the whole defense when Ricky was a soph. (About 10 mid-high majors came by this week) As you may be aware, schools are reneging more and more on high school kids that they may have offered early. Not saying that they may have pulled their offer but I would not be surprised. Purdue has brought in 3 safeties during this portal period. (lost 2) with a total 31 transferring in. Many of the top P4 programs generally don't lose this many. The movement of kids up and/down in the portal just proves to me that there isn't much difference (P4 vs P5) in talent outside of the top 20-30% of the roster.
I'm ok with Giles but like to see more urgency to win now with portal kids than high school kids. (Unless they are "Elite)
